Gathering Mushrooms Near Ronda

Surprising as it is, one can also gather mushrooms in Spain -- a fun activity to engage in on a rainy and gloomy day! Near Ronda, there are mushrooms growing literally on stones.

Hot summer days have been replaced by the lovely colours of autumn.

On the way to Ronda, we spotted a beautiful chestnut grove where we found porcini mushrooms, among many others. We started gathering mushrooms, and in about half an hour, we had enough to make a porcini pasta.

In the middle of the forest, we found a persimmon tree covered in beautiful red-orange leaves. It was a truly nice walk in the forest touched by autumn, and finally, the beauty of nature was replace by extreme hunger.

Ronda boasts a number of superb places to eat out and taste exceptional local wine. Guests are even served oxtail meat with chestnut sauce!
